The first notes of Hole’s full-throated, snarling anthem “Violet” blares over the speakers as I lean in closer to the wall to examine a colostomy bag filled with nails. My date and I don’t speak very much; instead, we’re both trying to process, internalize, and reflect on the art and vulnerability before us. “Rage Becomes Her” deserves nothing less.

As soon as I hit play and heard her jangly, noisy, poppy brand of lo-fi shoegaze and the lyrics “Fuck fuck, shit shit, oh”, I knew Computerwife was onto something.

Whether you’re interested in starting your own zine, have been a lifelong fan of “Doris”, or just want to learn a thing or two about the world, I hope this interview is as impactful for you as it was for me.
